Ingredients

Lean boneless pork

500 Gram

Lean boneless beef

500 Gram

Lean boneless lamb

500 Gram

Coarse salt

1⁄2 Tablespoon

Whole peppercorns

1 Teaspoon

Juniper berries

4

Water

1 Cup (16 tbs)

Directions

Cut meat into bite-size cubes and combine. Arrange in layers in a deep, round casserole, sprinkling each layer with a little salt. Add peppercorns, juniper berries and water and cover very tightly. (This amount of water seems small, but juices will come from the meat.) Bake in a preheated slow oven 150C (300F) for 4 hours, or in a slow cooker set on low for 6-8 hours. Taste for seasoning, and serve from the pot.
